Many of us like to stock our pantry in advance when things are on sale, or in some cases, a state of emergency.
Earlier this year we developed a checklist of commonly used “once a month” cooking supplies.
- You can use this list to keep on hand for when certain items go on deep discount sale.
- You might also consider making a price book of these items, noting the lowest prices you have seen the items on sale for and thus creating a list for yourself of what is the best price to purchase them at.
Hopefully, you find this list below helpful for stocking your pantry for future cooking days!
Anything you think we left off and should consider adding?
